As the rain hits the pane of my windowThe pain of the distance between us is very real to meBut so is the loveYes loveI love you still

It is in the still of the nightI quietly, silentlyReflect on the memoriesOf you and me and drift into slumberAwake into daydreams of me and you togetherI want to hear your voice

The rhythmic timbre of the masculinityOf the hum of my name on your lipsHow I miss your honey-dewed kissDear YouI Love you stillI smile wideAnd my eyes brighten at the mention of your nameAnd yes, oh yesMy heart skips a beatAs I journey down memory lane back to youArms, strong arms that held meAnd sheltered me from the sting of naysayersWho spoke against our togethernessOpposites do attract

The pomp and circumstance of artificial relationshipsWe bypassed and relied on tried and true loveDear YouI love you still

I can’t get you out of my mindMake no mistake I have triedSeconds into minutesHours into daysYou are imprinted upon my heartLike the DNA that maps me to my father’s lineageAnd denotes me as his childDear youMake no mistake I have triedEmotions running wildI love you still
